REALITY - THE GOLDEN PROCESS
I Was in a geology class one day when the lecturer was to teach something about minerals. He began to explain the formation of the various minerals we have today such as gold, silver, lead crystals, etc. Interestingly, they all come from one source - the magma.
For these minerals to evolve the magma have to undergo a gradual process of crystallization which usually take very long time. However, if the magma suddenly erupts unto the earth crust, it abruptly solidifies immediately due to a rapid reduction in temperature. When this happen, ROCK (which we see around) is formed. This rock contains all the necessary minerals silver, gold and the rest has but as is appears, the difference between a rock and a diamond cannot be overemphasized
What a perfect analogy to what happens to many in life and faith today. Everyone wants it easy and now. Nobody wants to know what the price looks like. The culture of waiting is fast fading. Everyone is on a mad rush to the top. The process is often denied and the experience is therefore void and experience is the best teacher (not necessarily your mistakes, but learning from others is even better experience). Victims of this eventually shrink on a minor life challenge and nothing unique about them that distinguishes them is seen.
Avoid skipping process, you will surely need to come back and repeat classes later in life if you must stabilize. Why not pass through it now. Have you heard - nothing good comes easy, that's not being pessimistic, its being realistic.
Endure the process. A man of multiple experience is a man of consistent victory. Shallom
